Sacrifice is synonymous with loss and surrender. Forgoing the things that are precious to a higher power.
Maybe there will come a time when you are surprised to realise that your eyes are closed. It might interest you to know that you've seen the world only through your hands - fingers for eyes - for who knows how long, and it will frighten you to see wholly that which you've only known in touch. You were content with your former mode of experience, limited as it was.
Opening your eyes is akin to sacrificing limitations. Our limitations are precious to us, we hold them so closely that we can't see them and often we become them. And we all know how hard it is to see the self.
Build a scapegoat of all your limitations and send it off into the desert where it won't feed off your consciousness, let it starve to death. You will become more your self.
